@ethan_z I would love to, but I’ve been out of work so long I literally cannot afford to feed myself or get my meds refilled half the time.
I’m stuck living with family that’s abused me to the point I’m scrolling X to numb myself instead of building what I love.
I don’t have that luxury

Being in SF makes it feel like raising millions of dollars is easy.

@_gaelicGhost Ooh that’s rough. Have you thought about moving to SF?

I'm deeply grateful and honored
YC has changed my life twice: first as a founder, and now as someone who gets to back and support ambitious talent that's unproven
feel lucky to do this work, and even luckier to do it with people I admire so much

We're excited to announce Diana Hu (@sdianahu) as YC's newest Managing Partner. Diana co-founded Escher Reality (YC S17), which was acquired by Niantic, where she shipped AR to the 100M+ people playing Pokémon GO. Since returning to YC as a partner, she has worked with nearly 230 companies that are now worth a combined $7 billion. Few people have built a startup from zero and also shipped at global scale. Diana has done both. ycombinator.com/blog/diana-hu-…

@charlieholtz Just wait for gpt-5.6 to come out and you'll wanna switch back

The pendulum has swung back! After less than 30 days we are back to Claude Code for our default harness.
Fable is just too good.
Charlie Holtz@charlieholtz
For the first time in Conductor history, we have a new default coding harness! Codex with GPT-5.5 has becoming the Conductor team's default agent, so we decided to make it the default for new users too.

It’s crazy to think that in just a few months, Fable 5 is going to be a terrible model.
Because the new models will be that much better.

Chai and Samosas 08.
☕️ Why do we say “chai” vs “tea” for the same drink?
Both come from the Chinese word 茶.
“Chai/Cha” (chá) traveled overland via the Silk Road to India, Persia, Turkey & beyond.
“Tea” (tê) sailed from southern China by sea to Europe.
🧠 Tea if by sea, chai if by land.
Let me know if you’re around to join us for the next one!

Reply and I’ll follow you.
I want to connect with ambitious people building something great.

So far I'm finding Fable to be pretty good. But need to do more testing

@tejasthind4 Yeah it’s really expensive but if you have unlimited tokens not an issue 😂
